[MR] Re-treating a canvas pavilion

There's nothing like waiting until the last minute...

I have an 8+ year old Tentmasters pavilion made
from Sunforger canvas.  The last time it was used
(and rained upon), I noticed that I was getting leaks
in multiple places and not just at the seams.

I've never used soap or bleach on it, but I did (2 years
ago?) lay it out on my tarps, soak it down and scrub
it with a push broom to loosen up and wash off dirt.
So it may have picked up petro chemicals from either
the tarps (bug spray etc) or from the push broom.

Anyone have a suggestion for an easy to apply product
that would restore the water repellency?

Thanks,
Aedan

PS - I called Tentmasters but they didn't have any recommendations
beyond spot treating with white gas. :-/
